My experience: Back when I first started reviewing sunscreens years ago, I was not a fan of the Badger sunblocks, but they reformulated all their varieties in spring 2013, and they emailed me explaining that the changes they had made should really take care of all my previous complaints about the product (separation, purplish-white hue on skin). Read your labels carefully to know what you’re getting! Water Resistant? The “cream” sunscreens definitely repel water the “lotion” versions aren’t intended to, and they don’t. Scent: varies – some unscented, some delightfully like oranges (kids really like that one, me too) I hear from time to time that people are burning with Badger – if that’s you, you’re not alone. It looked good even on my very fair-skinned husband’s face, and although he did get a little pink with it, it was that first day in Florida and I really believe it could not be helped.
BADGER ORGANIC SUNSCREEN SKIN
The list of ingredients is short and very clean, and the tint is the lighter side so versatile for most Caucasian skin types. As with other Badger varieties we have tried, this lotion goes on nicely smooth and rubs in quite easily. This one is only rated for 40 minutes water resistance, so it may be best if you are not doing a lot of swimming. We are huge fans of tinted sunscreen, especially for adults’ faces. Tinted: + When Badger released a new tinted version, I knew we had to try it.The previous Badger formula was described as a bit “greasy,” but this new one is totally different. It can be thin, so we’ve learned not to open the tube when it’s upside down, but for non-nano especially, it rubs in remarkably well.

Cream: + Our whole family really likes this product and how well it goes on.Antioxidants added: Sunflower Oil, Tocopherol (Vitamin E).Other ingredients: Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, *Cera Alba (Beeswax), Tocopherol (Sunflower Vitamin E), *Hippophae Rhamnoides (Seabuckthorn) Fruit Extract, Iron Oxides (C.I.Active ingredient(s): Non-Nano, Uncoated Zinc Oxide 18.75%.(As an aside, Badger has just about the best ingredients explanations I’ve ever seen…) Antioxidants added: varies, olive oil, shea butter, sunflower oil and Vitamin E from sunflower oil, various essential oils, seabuckthorn and vanilla extracts.
